  • The Psychology of Socialism

    Gustave Le Bon, John L StanleyBOOKPsychology of Socialism2017

    First published in 1899 during a period of crisis for French democracy, The Psychology of Socialism details Le Bon's view of socialism and radicalism primarily as religious movements. The emotionalism and hysteria of the period-especially as manifested during the Dreyfuss Affair-convinced Le Bon that most political controversy is based neither on reasoned deliberation nor rational interest, but on a psychology that partakes of contatgion andhyste…

  • Marx's Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Nature

    Open AccessJohn L Stanley, John Stanley et al.ARTICLEScience & Society1997References: 6

    Despite the general acceptance of Hegel's importance for Marx, virtually no one has paid sufficient attention to Marx's youthful critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Nature. Even Alfred Schmidt, whose work refers to the Naturphilosophie most frequently, underestimates its importance in the formulation of Marx's own materialist philosophy of nature and comes close to replicating the very Hegelian views that Marx is attacking. Yet the critique of the …

  • Is Totalitarianism a New Phenomenon? Reflections on Hannah Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism

    Open AccessJohn L Stanley, John Stanley et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Politics1987Cited by: 4References: 12

    Contrary to Arendt's claims, totalitarianism is not unique to the modern world. It is found occasionally in past ages and is exemplified in Shaka's rule over the Zulu. It is not clear whether the ideological “logic” of modern dictators differs from the seemingly paranoid behavior of Shaka or of certain ancient despots. Indeed, if Aristotle's account is accurate, certain extreme despots, by definition, treated citizens as slaves or household labor…

  • On the Alleged Differences between Marx and Engels

    Open AccessJohn L Stanley, John Stanley et al.ARTICLEPolitical Studies1984Cited by: 5References: 2

    The supposed differences between Marx and Engels hinge on Marx's failure to endorse Anti-Dühring, on his refusal to hypostatize dialectical categories independent of human reflection and on his refusal to formulate any cosmic super-laws of society or of nature. Engels, on the other hand, is supposed to have viewed man as a passive product of natural evolution governed by super-laws that belong to idealist philosophy. However, Marx strongly endors…

  • The Sociology of Virtue: The Political and Social Theories of Georges Sorel

    John L Stanley, Jack L StanleyBOOKSociology of Virtue1981

    Georges Sorel's reputation as a proponent of violence has helped to link his ideas to fascist and totalitarian thought. Much of the literature on Sorel as developed this theme, at the expense of what Sorel himself stated as his primary purpose, "the discovery of the historical genesis of morals." How, Sorel asked, in the light of the development of modern industry and the vast powers of the modern state the individual can possess a sense of self-…

  • Majority Tyranny in Tocqueville's America: The Failure of Negro Suffrage in 1846

    Open AccessJohn L Stanley, Jack L StanleyARTICLEPolitical Science Quarterly1969Cited by: 1

    The question of the place of the Negro in American life has been and is still the greatest problem in American politics. Neither the formal mechanism of government nor the party system has been able adequately to cope with the problem of absorbing the Negro into the normal pattern of life. From the earliest days of the Republic, Americans have agonized over the problem, and their reactions, rationalizations, and generalizations over the Negro que…
